The company's notion is that researchers and engineers able to use the "research-grade intelligence" will want to pay for [1]the chance .
The cost is quite a jump from the company's $20 per month ChatGPT Plus plan, but adds unlimited access to the company's GPT-4o and o1 models, unlimited access to advanced voice, and access to o1 pro mode, "which uses more compute for the best answers to the hardest questions."

OpenAI says, somewhat grandly, that the pricier version provides access to a model "that thinks longer for the most reliable responses."

"In evaluations from external expert testers, o1 pro mode produces more reliably accurate and comprehensive responses."
The intent is to add additional compute-intensive productivity features to the plan, but OpenAI did not specify exactly what is coming. OpenAI is currently working through [5]"12 Days of OpenAI" , so it might be wise to see what else is coming down the pipe before signing up for ChatGPT Pro.

The o1 model was introduced [7]in September . The model set then consisted of o1-preview and o1-mini, and OpenAI claimed the LLM was capable of emulating complex reasoning. According to OpenAI, the pro version of o1 that comes with the ChatGPT Pro subscription is able to generate better answers and requires more compute.

[11]Yup, half of that thought-leader crap on LinkedIn is indeed AI scribbled
The fact it takes longer to do so is demonstrated by a progress bar while the service fetches its answer. Users can switch to other conversations until a notification pops up to indicate a response has been generated.
According to OpenAI, "In evaluations from external expert testers, o1 pro mode produces more reliably accurate and comprehensive responses, especially in areas like data science, programming, and case law analysis."
While the hike might seem steep, it also represents a clear statement of intent. OpenAI needs to make money, and if the o1 model can genuinely increase productivity and/or cut staffing costs then CEO Sam Altman & co would like a piece of the action.
OpenAI has also announced it is awarding ten grants of ChatGPT Pro to US medical researchers and expects to expand the awards to other regions and research areas in the future. ®

Re: Return of the World Wide Wait...
Seven and a half million years later ...
More Automatic e-books
Soon more automatically generated ebooks appearing at libraries (based on scrapped content)
I know a few people who now are "authors"
Re: More Automatic e-books
I wrote a book once. It was green!
Re: More Automatic e-books
Ooooh, now there's a way to make a librarian cry...
"Excuse me, I'm looking for a book. It was written by a guy who goes by the monicker Paul, or maybe Peter?, could be Patrick, Herber or something. He wrote it some time ago. And it was green. Do you know it?"
Could be worth it
> OpenAI says it will charge $200 per month for ChatGPT Pro,
If it can successfully answer the question How can I make a guaranteed $250 a month without doing any work and having no money I'd be willing to pay for it.
It's $200 to talk to the smart one, or you get the dummy.
I'd mostly given up on using gpt4 for doing complex development as it's forgetful and annoyingly so. Using o1 was refreshingly intelligent and usable, until it's not. I don't want to talk to the simpleton version that forgets every few sentences, I'd rather have the smart one.
Oh, that's $200 dollars, a month... I'll get back to you on that.
Re: It's $200 to talk to the smart one, or you get the dummy.
"more accurate" != "accurate"
$200 per month for ChatGPT Pro...
Boy... those shareholders are an impatient bunch aren't they ?
How about Open AI crawling into a hole?
produces more reliably accurate and comprehensive responses
How about you open it up for a limited period so that people (that's all of us, not selected so-called "expert testers") can try it to see if this is indeed the new hot thing?
At a previous gig, yet another C-level&board, having swallowed the kool aid wholesale, announced "we expect all employees, especially those in IT, to intensely use and familiarise themselves with AI, OpenAI, ChatGPT and see how it can improve our bonu.... our company".
But would not pick up even the $20/month tab for the prior full CGPT.
You think they'll jump on $200/month?!
Reassuringly expensive
> You think they'll jump on $200/month?
Possibly. If you can slow your brain down to C-suite level, then for $20 a month a product can't be much good. But at $200, well .... there's got to be something there.
Pricing yourself into a market.
